Dawn of War Swaps GameSpy for Steam

A post from last week on the
Steam community forums outlines how the GameSpy
services shutdown is being handled for owners of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of
War, the Warhammer 4K strategy game (thanks Akkinokage). Word is the game's
backend has been migrated to Steamworks, and there are more details on that in
this previous letter to the community. The new note also describes how SEGA
is going the extra yard to provide Steam keys for those who own retail boxed
copies of the game:

With the shutting of Gamespy servers, we have been
migrating our players over to Steam.

However if you purchased box versions of the game and do not own the game on
Steam, you do not need to re-purchase the games. We are supplying
owners of boxed copies with free steam keys so you can continue to enjoy the DoW
franchise without paying again.

You can request your steam keys by filing a ticket through the following page:

Please note that Sega will need to verify your boxed copies, this may involve
them requesting photos of your box or other information. Due to the volume of
requests it may also take a few days for them to reply - we apologize this and
thank the community for it's patience.

We did not want to see DoW end with the closure of the Gamespy servers, and are
happy to see that our players are still quite passionate!
